“Our goal is to facilitate positive discussion among solution-oriented people who believe in the power of sharing ideas and personal connections.”
Your headline wasn’t shameful, and the subtext is a very real keynote for the story. The reality is that this is an example of the crimes we don’t really have solid classifications for, and women have historically been prominent victims of these types of crimes, and more often than not those victims are either… Read more
When women across this country try to get help after avalanches of death and rape threats online, sometimes even on video, nobody understands the internet, nobody can use a computer. But a Black man uses a gun emoji and a copy emoji next to each other on FB and suddenly they are computer whizzes enforcing the law to… Read more
I have literally never commented before but feel compelled to tell you that the deli on the corner of 5th Ave and Berkeley in Park Slope actually DOES have tons of the crazy Euro varieties, including the mice. Read more

My great aunt was in this cult. Despite the huge negatives (chief among them, the whole worshipping some rando as a god), they did a lot of good. Read more
Going to school (and being broke) in West Philadelphia in the early ‘80s, the Divine Tracy Hotel was a godsend (as it were). It had a restaurant, the Keyflower, that served pretty good vegetarian food for practically nothing. The people from the church who ran it were awfully nice, too, if almost preternaturally… Read more
He claimed his own heavenly spirit inhabited the body of a man standing on 134th Street in Harlem one day in 1900. And that he remembered nothing of that man’s life prior to that. He called it “combusting.” Read more

Scavenger hunt you say?
Bullshit. We all cared. The immigrant rights community fought for years to fix the abuses of the expedited removal system. We lobbied Congress, we wrote reports highlighting the abuses, we brought complaints to the Interamerican Court of Human Rights, we filed lawsuits, and we fought like hell even when expedited… Read more
These memoranda really are worst-case scenarios. Under these changes, people whose only “crime” was to be arrested for disorderly conduct will be considered an enforcement priority, even if the charges were dismissed. As much as people who oppose undocumented immigrants don’t want to admit it, our immigration… Read more
Take a gander down to the Justice Department and you might get a clearer idea of why there was no consultation. Homeland Security and the State Department, too. In the week that he’s been ruling by executive order and grandstanding at a GOP retreat, Trump has still not named appointees to fill *hundreds* of positions… Read more
Very important to note that by the text of the order, there is NOT any block to Trump’s exclusion of refugees; this JUST says that people cannot be “removed,” which means that people are still stuck abroad. This saves those who were in the air when the EO was signed and who are currently detained. Read more
I have been caling Ryan’s office a lot since the election. Some times I go straight to the switch board, I have been getting the busy signals a lot since them. For about a week I would be put on hold for absurd amounts of time while only getting through once to the switchboard again. (In what is probably a… Read more
